Vocalist / Songwriter. I started singing at 4 years old. I bought a drum set from a garage sale when I was 12. I bought a DARA acoustic guitar at 13. It had three working strings. I learned "Come as You Are" on it. I got into sampling and electronics in my 20's. I started seriously DJing in my 30's. More history to come.

Originally the moniker Dralms functioned as departure point from songwriter Christopher Smith’s solo work. It was an opportunity to embrace a new process and indulge in a new feel. Taking off from where Smith’s live shows had left off, with a bigger, more band-oriented sound. 2015’s acclaimed debut record Shook was a combination of closer to date material as well as older reworked pieces. Adding lush textures to a live template of guitars, keyboards, drums while employing dub-style tape echo, Melodica, even gospel esc backup vocals. Smith meanwhile had put down his guitar to focus on his vocals, leading us with a heather of romantic hushes into dove soft discussions on concepts of purpose, to the taboos and perils of our love lives. Dralms are mood for thought. 
Soon after the release 2014’s EP Crushed Pleats, the original line up essentially disbanded, but Dralms continued to tour the UK and EU extensively with a rotation of players including Smith’s long time collaborator William Kendrick who he continues work with as Dralms nears the completion of new releases slated for 2017/2018
